[nabs-l] VoiceOver Vs. Jaws?

[Helga Schreiber]

Hi I have a Mac computer. yeah, voiceover works very well. yes, it read PDF with something call the Preview I have rated it, but it reads it, but for some reason when I am tryin to read word by word or character by character it does not let me. But with word format or RTF documents works great! In order to read them I use texted it or pages. Some of the commands are different, but it is easy t to manage. I'm still exploring for papers. I have not write a paper yet, but I need to  play and try to find out how to do fonts and so on. You can use Safari and Google on Safari in order to find  your sources. You can even use the Google app on your phone to search things! For emails is different, but you can have it set  on your email account or use Safari to go to your email on your site.  Hope this helps a little bit. I look forward in hearing from you soon. Thanks and God bless!!
